Premier Division
Gwalchmai 4 Amlwch Town 1
Phenomenal Connor Owen made it 25 goals in 19 games for Gwalchmai this season after scoring a hat-trick in Saturday’s win over Amlwch at Maes Meurig.
One of the goals scored by the 17-year-old was described by former manager Paul Owen as “the best seen in many a season at Gwalchmai.”
Connor set the ball rolling by putting the home side in front on 18 minutes.
Marc Evans made it three goals in as many games for Gwalch since beginning his third spell at the club in January when he scored on 32 minutes.
On the hour, Amlwch, who beat Gwalch 1-0 at Lon Bach in August, were back in it when Tomos Williams made it 2-1.
Owen restored Gwalchmai’s two-goal lead from the penalty spot on 68 and then completed his hat-trick in the 80th minute.
Gwalch now sit fifth in the Premier, with Amlwch fourth from bottom and without a win in eight league starts.
CPD Llanberis 1 Bethesda Athletic 3
Bethesda again showed their championship credentials with a huge win at Llanberis which put the Ogwen Valley men 10 points clear in top spot.
Beaten just once previously this season in 12 league matches, the Darans’ hopes of victory received a big setback when their goalkeeper Dylan Roberts was red-carded on the half-hour.
Just before half time, Joe Todd edged Pesda into the lead from the penalty spot.
Dion Owen levelled for the 10-man hosts early in the second half, but on the hour Todd won the ball in midfield and advanced before lashing home a magnificent shot from the right.
Daniel Hughes then set up Scott Hughes to slot into an empty net six minutes into added time. Game over.
CPD Llannerchymedd 1 CPD Mynydd Llandegai 1
All-square at Tan Parc with Mark Jones giving Medd a sixth-minute lead before Aaron Davies-Thomas equalised on 20.
Llanrug United 6 CPD Nefyn United 4
A 10-goal epic at Eithin Duon saw Llanrug overcome Nefyn.
Kev Lloyd (2), Jonathan Sadler, Osian Williams, Tomi Llywelyn and a Llyr Pennant Williams own goal made up the home six, Josh Piper, Mark Dunn (pen), Mathew Hardy and Steven Jones delivering the Penwaig’s replies.
CPD Penrhyndeudraeth 0 CPD Pwllheli 4
Steffan Toplis netted all four goals as Pwllheli’s fine season continued with a 4-0 triumph at Maes-y-Parc.
Toplis struck on 13, 50, 71 and 77 minutes.
CPD Pentraeth 1 Talysarn Celts 3
Matthew Morris gave Pentraeth a 24th minute lead, but Rob Daniels levelled on 34 and then second-half goals from Luke Baum (47) and substitute Garem Jones clinched the points for Talysarn, who are third in the table.
Division One
Llanfairpwll 0 Trearddur Bay 4
Two goals apiece from Tom Scott and Asa Thomas guided unbeaten Trearddur to an impressive 4-0 success at Maes Eilian which keeps them just a point behind leaders Cemaes Bay with two games in hand.
Hosts Llanfairpwll had recorded back-to-back wins in the league and were also looking to continue their impressive season.
The visitors took the ascendancy after 12 minutes. Thomas’ whipped free kick forced keeper Rhys Owen to parry the ball out and it was slotted home smartly by midfielder Scott.
The home side responded with a couple of half chances and tried to apply pressure, forcing veteran goalkeeper Paul Pritchard into a save before the break, but the Bay back four looked calm and collected.
The second half saw Bay continue to dominate and they doubled their lead on the hour with a good passage of play leading to a simple tap-in, again by the silver fox in the box Scott.
Llanfair heads dropped at this point, and it took only five more minutes until the game was wrapped up by lethal striker Thomas, who coolly finished into the bottom corner after some good link play.
Pwll’s day got worse when in-form midfielder Jay Finter was shown a straight red for comments made to the referee.
With the man advantage the visitors moved the ball around well and striker Thomas was brought down for a penalty in the 75th minute.
He stepped up to take the kick, calmly chipping the ball down the middle of the goal for his 36th net-finder of the campaign.
The home side’s woes continued when captain Dylan Williams was shown a red.
Arriva 4 CPD Y Fali 5
Y Fali edged a nine-goal thriller at Nantporth, Rhys Thomas the Anglesey side’s chief hero with a hat-trick.
Casey Boylan (pen) and Daniel Owen were also on the mark for the islanders.
Luke Snape (2), Matthew Parry and Robin Roberts drove the Busmen close.
Bontnewydd 3 Bethesda Rovers 2
Luke Phillips was a hat-trick star in this win for Bontnewydd, Kieron Bullock and Sion Bullock replying for the visitors.
Cemaes Bay 4 CPD Cefni 0
Matt Reynolds’ 17th goal of the season helped table-toppers Cemaes record a 4-0 home victory over Cefni.
Cian Owen scored the only goal of the first half, finishing off a pinpoint cross from Gary Jo Owen.
Matty Roberts’ great persistence set up Reynolds to make it 2-0 on 52 minutes, then Ryan Folksman’s goal direct from a corner and a Keenan Downey spot-kick rounded off the scoring.
CPD Gaerwen 2 Holyhead Town 1
Three wins on the bounce for Gaerwen, Alan Mark Owen notching their decider on 84 minutes.
Nathan Moore had earlier given the hosts a second-minute lead before Craig Moore equalised on 21.
Holyhead had Paul Williams and Luke Jones red-carded in the closing minutes.
CPD Mountain Rangers 2 Llangoed and District 0
Goals from Daniel Hughes (32 mins) and sub Stuart Cooke (85) wrapped up maximum points for Rangers.
